Meet the extraordinary Charlie! 🌟 This incredible soul has a journey that will make your heart swell and perhaps bring a tear to your eye. Imagine being a skittish gentleman, navigating a world filled with uncertainty and fear. Charlie’s past is like a riveting novel filled with mystery!📚 He was rescued by our compassionate friends at Buddha Rescue and Recovery after a harrowing experience. Can you believe this brave boy went on a wild adventure, escaping a foster home and surviving for 10 whole days in the woods? 🌳 And before that, he was a stray on the bustling streets of NYC, captured by animal control while dealing with a broken pelvis and heatstroke! It’s heartbreaking to think of the scars—both visible and invisible—that he carries, but each day is a new opportunity for him to heal. 💔 Charlie is a sweet 9-year-old pit lab mix weighing in at a sturdy 50 lbs, yet he still acts like a curious puppy at heart! 🐶 Although leash walks initially freaked him out—he would just panic and try to make a run for it—he is slowly learning the ropes by following the other dogs. How inspiring is that? 🚶‍♂️ Each day, his little heart opens a tad further, and he’s starting to appreciate the gentle rhythm of companionship. Ch-ch-check this out! He is a true escape artist when startled, so a secure, super safe home is a must! 🔒 The ideal situation for our precious boy is an adult-only household with a calm atmosphere, filled with patient, loving people who will cherish him for exactly who he is. 🌈 Are you ready to celebrate his tiny victories and help him blossom?
